2162213, If he wins no. 5, I'd say so but as their respective careers stands

currently, I think it's debatable...and you could certainly argue Duncan has had the better overall career btw the two
Duncan
-4x champion
-2x MVP
-3x Finals MVP
-ROY
-considered by most to be the greatest player at his position
-Definitely a better teammate than Bean
-Was the key player on all his championship teams (had to go thru Shaq & Bean oftentimes to get to the finals)
-more impactful on the defensive side of the ball
Kobe
-5th all time leading scorer/30,000 pt club
-1 MVP
-5x champion
-2x finals MVP
-considered the 2nd greatest 2 guard in league history
-1 MVP
-2 Gold Medals
-not considered a good teammate to say the least/a ball hog/ran the g.o.a.t. coach out of town
The reason why the belief that Kobe has had a better career than Duncan is because he's accomplished what he has while playing for the Lakers, the most high profile team in the NBA and Duncan, on the other hand, has
quietly done what he has while playing for probably the *least* profile team in the league.
